Chapter 2:

I walked down the street to the Leaky Cauldron just like my map had instructed. The place was a bar with many people drinking. I walked over to the wall were Snape's instructions told me to go. I pressed on the bricks that Snape's map told me to press. Suddenly the wall opened up and I walked in. I found myself in a street with lots of weird shops. Maybe I could shop there sometime, but first I needed money. The bank was a large imposing building straight out of Ancient Greece. When I walked in I was shocked to see the bankers. They were not human. "You're Goblins!" I shouted

"Yes" the Goblin at the head desk said crossley, as the others looked at me with contempt.

Anyway, that was not the only strange things about the bank. There was a large man, and when I say large I don't mean like a big person. He was 15 feet tall, and 5 feet wide. But I had business to do, I could not just going around thinking about the customers. "I have a will from my Father Severus Snape."

"I'll take that" Said a man sitting to the left of the headdesk but not as high. "I'm the signature expert".

I handed him the will and he opened a cabinet and rifled through it. "There were are" He muttered pulling out a small card.

He put it on top of the will and looked at the signature with a bunch of magnifying glasses on a stand. After a while of looking at it he spoke: "looks authentic to me." and he gave me back the will.

"I could take you now, but I have to take this man Hagrid to get something important."

"I'll go with him" said Hagrid.

"Very well then" said the goblin as he lead through a door onto a cart. First we will get Harry's money then.."His voice trailed off.

"Then what?" I asked

"I can't tell you"

"Alright"

The cart moved forward into a huge underground area. The place was a series of halls with hundred foot ceilings and vaults on every wall. "This is cool!" I exclaimed.

"Wait till you see the dragon" the goblin remarked.

After a while the cart slowed to a stop at one of the vaults. "This is your vault" said the goblin.

He opened the door and I expected to see a good amount of coins. Instead I found a huge pile of them. "Wooh! I'm rich!" I cried.

"Your father was a rather wealthy man." Hagrid commented.

"Let's go" said the goblin as he lead us back onto the cart. "We have important business to attend."

The cart took us deeper down in the chamber. I heard the sound of flapping but the I never saw the dragon. When we got to the vault, the goblin announced: "Let me handle this one".

He snapped his fingers, and the vault opened revealing a triangular object wrapped in carpet like material. "What is that!" I cried.

"I can't tell you." said Hagrid and the goblin nodded in agreement.

"Well then, I better be on my way."

We went back to the surface and I walked out the door. It was time to buy the items on the list. First things first, Wizard robes. Personally I found Hogwarts robes gather garish I wanted to get the boring task out of the way. I followed the map into the store. The store was a good size store with many rakes of robes. I noticed a boy and his father searching in a section of clothes that looked rather expensive. The boy was my height and had blonde swept back hair. The father was tall with long hair that was a similar color as his dad, and had a cane I believe was only decoration. He suddenly looked toward me and gazed at me intently. "I'm Harry Snape" I said rather nervously.

"Just as I suspected" He said in a voice with tinge of arrogance.

"Oh Harry" The boy said. "I'm sorry about your father." He said it in a tone that meant he had no sympathy for my mother.

"Of course Draco. He did marry a mudblood. But everyone has their flaws" said the Dad.

I slowly backed away from them and they returned to their business. I then saw another family standing shopping at the store. "But mom!" complained a redhead boy my age."These robes are lame. Can't I wear different robes?"

"Sure the mom replied. Fred's old robes or George's"

"Alright" The boy grumbled.

"I looked at two older boys who probably were Fred and George laughing. An even older boy sat reading a book, clearly annoyed by Fred and George. The father was a man man with dark hair. Funny though why all of the kids were redhead, even though they only had one redhead parent. Well, best not think of that. If I was raised by a scientist I might have cared more.

"Hello" I said.

"Hello, what is your name?" The father replied.

"Harry Snape"

"My name is James Potter. This is my wife Molly, My son Percy." He said motioning toward the reading boy. "My sons, George and Fred." He said motioning towards the twins" And my son Ron. He said motioning toward his youngest boy."

"Hello"

"Wait a second" Mr. Potter said. "Harry Snape. You're Severus Snape's Son?"

"Yes"

"Yeah me and him had some friction when we were younger. I didn't get along with Lucius Malfoy, and since he was friends with Snape. We did not get along."

"Wait" I said quietly. "Is that that Lucius and his son Draco?"

"Yes"

"But there Is another thing I don't get. How did you survive the Avada Kedavra spell?"

"What?"

"Of course you would not remember. you were a baby."

"Well anyway. I got to get my robes."

I picked out of set of robes not too expensive but not too cheap. I also picked two more sets, a hat, a pair of gloves, and a winter cloak that all matched.
